Inflammation: Roles in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy

open access: yesAntioxidants, 2022
Various diseases can cause skeletal muscle atrophy, usually accompanied by inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, decreased protein synthesis, and enhanced proteolysis.

Regulation of skeletal muscle atrophy

open access: yesJournal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2013
Skeletal muscle atrophy can result from prolonged periods of skeletal muscle inactivity due to bed rest, denervation, or unloading. Such unloading-associated atrophy of skeletal muscle is characterized by both an increase in protein degradation and a ...

Mitochondrial dysfunction: roles in skeletal muscle atrophy

open access: yesJournal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Mitochondria play important roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis and skeletal muscle health, and damage to mitochondria can lead to a series of pathophysiological changes.

Mechanisms of IGF-1-Mediated Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy and Atrophy

open access: yesCells, 2020
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a key growth factor that regulates both anabolic and catabolic pathways in skeletal muscle. IGF-1 increases skeletal muscle protein synthesis via PI3K/Akt/mTOR and PI3K/Akt/GSK3β pathways. PI3K/Akt can also inhibit

Skeletal muscle atrophy: From mechanisms to treatments

open access: yesPharmacological Research, 2021
Skeletal muscle is a crucial tissue for movement, gestural assistance, metabolic homeostasis, and thermogenesis. It makes up approximately 40% of the total body weight and 50% of total protein. However, several pathological abnormalities (e.g., chronic diseases, cancer, long-term infection, aging) can induce an imbalance in skeletal muscle protein ...

Betulinic acid ameliorates cast‐immobilized skeletal muscle atrophy but not denervation‐induced skeletal muscle atrophy

open access: yesJCSM Communications
Background Terpenoids have gained attention as therapeutic agents for skeletal muscle atrophy owing to their various physiological activities. In this study, we screened four terpenoids for their therapeutic potential against muscle atrophy in cultured ...

Heme oxygenase-1: A potential therapeutic target for improving skeletal muscle atrophy

open access: yesExperimental Gerontology, 2023
Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common muscle disease that is directly caused by an imbalance in protein synthesis and degradation. At the histological level, it is mainly characterized by a reduction in muscle mass and fiber cross-sectional area (CSA ...

Denervation-induced activation of the standard proteasome and immunoproteasome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The standard 26S proteasome is responsible for the majority of myofibrillar protein degradation leading to muscle atrophy. The immunoproteasome is an inducible form of the proteasome.

Mechanism of skeletal muscle atrophy after spinal cord injury: A narrative review

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2023
Spinal cord injury leads to loss of innervation of skeletal muscle, decreased motor function, and significantly reduced load on skeletal muscle, resulting in atrophy.
